Self Portraits

• Looking within the frame – alternatively you could have your subject looking at something (or someone) within the frame. A child looking at a ball, a woman looking at her new baby, a man looking hungrily at a big plate of pasta…. When you give your subject something to look at that is inside the frame you create a second point of interest and a relationship between it and your primary subject. It also helps create ‘story’ within the image.
• Photograph your subject at work, with family or doing something that they love. This will put them more at ease and you can end up getting some special shots with them reacting naturally to the situation that they are in. You might even want to grab a longer zoom lens to take you out of their immediate zone and get really paparazzi with them.

Environmental 

I enjoyed the element the boy was put in. His element. I also like how they played with the lighting. 

I liked the way the picture was laid out. I think its awesome that this was candid since you can't really pose birds like this. 

Photography Self Portrait

I liked how the photo was candid, but also posed. I also enjoyed how the lighting looked. 

I really liked how the picture looks and am very curious to how they captured it. You have to be very talented to capture such a shot. 

Casual Portrait 

I like how candid yet posed
